Course Info:Current status as of 7/2/2012:Course is fully playable from long tees with all holes having permanent baskets, signage, carpet teepads. Trails have been cut between holes and course is easily navigable. Vandalism has been repaired. We're in the process of having a tree professional clear all remaining dead trees and tree limbs from fairways. After these are cut, several changes will be implemented to improve and lengthen holes, mostly on the front 9: holes 1-3, 5, 7-10 will be affected. Please come out to a workday if you can make it, as I'm estimating another 1,000 hours of work volunteer work is needed to complete the installation, on top of ~1,000 hours YTD 2012. I can attribute 70% of those hours to 4 people ... we need help, still.

Items coming up on the workdays:Tree cutting -- in process, should be mostly cut by 7/4/2012Installing granite stairs. We were gifted ~5 tons of granite chunks by the city and will be installing stairs in steep areasInstalling short teepadsClearing edges of fairwaysImproving signageBuilding information kioskBuilding benches from logs we've cut downBuilding retaining walls from logs we've cut downBuilding bag holes (from logs we've cut down)

Perkerson is located in Downtown ATL approximately 2 miles SW of Turner Field in the Capitol View neighborhood

>From I-75/85, exit on University Ave #244 (approx 3 miles south of junction with I-20). Head West (right) off the exit. After 1/2 mile take a LEFT (south) on Metropolitan Pkwy at major intersection. After 1/2 mile take a RIGHT (west) on Deckner Ave at light. Park is on the left. Take 2nd entrance and park in gravel lot by the stream.

To get to 1st hole, walk downstream to where the 2 bridges are (approx 300' from gravel lot). You'll see the practice basket at the bottom of the cliff, and hole 1 tees off from the top of the cliff.

The course is fully playable and improving by the week. It will be improving at a rapid rate now as all initial clearing is complete. Chains have been replaced on all baskets. Each hole has a carpet teepad in long position, next tee signs, and trails between holes.

Top post updated to reflect current conditions. Course will be dramatically improving over the next month, as we're clearing most of the trees this week. Front 9 will be playing much harder, with overall par to 61:Hole 1 to par 4Hole 2 & 3 change, bringing OB much more into playHole 5's tee moves downhill, making the shot better & tougherHole 7 canopy lifted and long tee added (+100')Hole 8 shorter and tighterHole 9 to a big par 4
